Is Auburn Spinal Traction Face Down Or Face Up Best? Face Down!

January 23, 2018

Face up? Face down? When treating neck pain or low back pain that is a question for your Auburn chiropractor and for the spine researcher (and sometimes the interested patient!) about which position is most beneficial. For the Auburn back pain specialist who is a hands-on treating doctor, prone (face down) is more useful so he or she is able to get his or her hands on the spine. For your Auburn spine specialist, prone is certainly desired as Cox Technic flexion distraction and decompression spinal manipulation is used. At Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. prone spinal care is our back pain relief department, and research approves!

BENEFITS OF PRONE TREATMENT

Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. grounds its Auburn chiropractic treatment on research. Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. keeps up with current spinal care research. In a new study of traction, patient-rated disability and pain scores demonstrated that traction in the prone position resulted in immediate and significant improvements. (1) Another study found that a hallmark of spinal traction could lie in the fluid exchange in the disc as trunk muscle activity is minimal. (2) Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. notes the advantages of relaxing the trunk muscles, enhancing the fluid exchange in the disc (as Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. knows nutrition of the disc relies on this and is why disc nutrition supplementation is often included in the treatment plan), and distracting the spine.

COX TECHNIC PRONE MANIPULATION

Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C. applies an exceptional form of spinal distraction called Cox Technic that is research-documented and gentle in its ability to relieve back pain and neck pain.  In using Cox Technic flexion distraction spinal manipulation for back pain relief, your Auburn chiropractor has you lie prone (face down) on a specially designed chiropractic treatment table that has a non-moving chest support piece and movable support piece for your legs. Researchers note that the proper forces a chiropractor is to apply to the lumbar or cervical spine on this type of table during Cox Technic can be instructed consistently for clinical reproducibility by chiropractors like yours at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C.. This means a patient can be treated by one proficient chiropractor in much the same way as by another proficient chiropractor. (3,4,5) Your Auburn chiropractor is so trained. Applying the appropriate forces makes available the best opportunity to reproduce the clinical back pain relief for Auburn low back pain patients as chiropractic researchers have recorded in their research projects. That is thrilling to your Auburn chiropractor and alleviating to the Auburn chiropractic patients at Dr. Le's Chiropractic & Wellness, L.L.C.!
